A pedestrian was killed after getting hit by several vehicles in Vallejo as he tried to cross Interstate 80 early Sunday morning east of the Carquinez Bridge toll plaza, California Highway Patrol officials said.

At 12:36 a.m., the pedestrian, who was dressed in dark clothing and carrying a cane, ran in front of traffic from the north side of the interstate, said CHP spokesman Eric Lund.

A man behind the wheel of a Toyota Prius saw the man at the last second but couldn't stop in time, CHP officials said. The driver hit the pedestrian, who was then hit by several more vehicles.

Two drivers stopped at the scene, but according to them, other vehicles also ran over the man's body but didn't stop, Lund said.
